Chapter 133: The Library
There are no enemies.
Sauron carefully observed his surroundings, exerting his god-level perception to the limit, but it seemed that there were no enemies on this level.
He quietly approached one of the bookshelves, and when he reached out to touch one of the books, suddenly the power of time seemed to be triggered, and the books in front of him actually weathered directly into powder, and all of a sudden there was dust everywhere, and all the books in the entire bookshelf turned into dust, and even most of the books on the bookshelf next to him turned into powder. However, after a large number of books have been reduced to powder, some of them have not changed at all become very obvious.
These are all spellbooks, or books that have been blessed with spells.
Even wizards don't have enough energy to bless all the books with spells, and as a library they will set up a large magic circle to prevent books from being damaged, etc., but time has erased these, and only the important books dedicated to spells have been preserved. Many of the books have been completely damaged, and if they touch it slightly, they will turn into powder, and the books that are completely preserved can see the faint aura of magic.
It looks like there are no enemies left.
Sauron breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then said hello below, and soon Goliath and the others all came up.
Meanwhile.
On the top floor of the Wizard's Tower, three constructed beings made of strange metal are watching it all.
"Taling 1!"
One of the tower spirits with a lower body composed of air currents resembling elemental djinn said in a deep voice, "The intruder has reached the fifth layer, why don't you activate the Arcane Guard?" ”
Taling No. 1 looks ordinary, but it is this ordinariness that makes it seem unusual, there is a virtual image in front of it, it is Sauron and the others who have entered the fifth layer, after pondering for a moment, it said slowly: "The fifth layer is the master's collection of books, which are all very important things. ”
"If there is a fight. There is a high probability that this place will be destroyed. ”
"I believe that the master is not willing to destroy these precious books, so much time has passed, if the master is still alive, he would have returned a long time ago."
"Let's wait and see."
Hearing the words of Taling No. 1, the Taling next to him couldn't help but fall silent, as a kind of high-level constructed life, although they have great power, they are also strictly limited.
They faithfully carry out their master's orders when they leave, but even they get tired after too much time.
Constructing life is not immortal.
Some of them have disappeared into the river of time, and even souls can be consumed for thousands of years. Therefore, Taling No. 1 may not have thought of completing the master's orders in other ways.
It has changed its body three times.
As the oldest tower spirit in the wizard tower, it has been weakened for more than three thousand years, and this weakening is not in strength, but in the soul level.
Since the construction of life is also called life, there is naturally the end of life and the time when death comes.
They are not lichs, they are just artificial beings, and the essence of the soul is still not comparable to that of humans, and the weakness caused by the lich's replacement of bodies can be replenished by some other means, but they are not able to do this at all. As a kind of higher constructed life. Taling's bodies can last for hundreds or thousands of years, but now it is too long since the time of the Arcane Empire, and the repeated body changes have brought them closer and closer to death.
If it weren't for Sauron's arrival, it might have been less than a hundred years before all the towers here would have perished.
Wrong!
Maybe there's another one. That is the Taling 13 of the war chess plane, it has a special divinity, and perhaps it is the only Taling that is close to immortality.
1,000 years, 2,000 years......
Even they can't escape death. Planes all have the moment of death, let alone these constructing lives.
Perhaps only the gods in the entire multiverse can be truly immortal! ……
………………
The fifth floor of the Wizard's Tower.
The collection of books here is extremely large, but less than one thousandth of them are well preserved. But without exception, they are very precious.
After flipping through a few books, Goliath immediately said, "These books need to be moved back." ”
The Wizard's Tower hasn't been taken down yet.
It's obviously not wise to leave these books here, so let's move them all back first.
Vivien was obviously not very interested in these books, and as a divine warlock, she cast spells mostly by talent, so after reading them boredly, her big dripping eyes turned to have some idea of the space above.
"Brother!"
The little girl ran to Sauron's side and said crisply, "Why don't we keep going?" It looks as if there are no guards on either floor, and maybe the same is true above. ”
Sauron's expression hesitated.
But he didn't hesitate for long, he planned to look up again, there were no enemies on two floors in a row, and there might be no guards on them.
Sauron cautiously approached the sixth floor of the Wizard's Tower.
But before he could see everything inside, a strange light suddenly appeared, so fast that it was impossible to dodge, which was already beyond the speed of the object's movement, and slashed directly towards Sauron's body.
Critical moment!
Sauron's dodge ability to approach the top of the material plane finally worked, relying on his powerful intuitive dodge ability, he twisted his flank three hundred and sixty degrees in advance, avoiding the vital points of his body in an extremely thrilling way.
Smack!
Half of the palm fell to the ground.
Sauron's figure quickly kicked his legs back, and when he raised his hand, only half of his left hand was left, and there was no blood on the wound, because the flesh and blood had been scorched, and the incision was unusually neat, it was completely instantaneous, and when he retreated to the fifth layer, he felt a sharp pain in his palm.
"Brother!?"
Vivien's exclamation rang out, and she quickly pounced, worried, "Are you alright?" ”
Sauron's face turned slightly pale, and he shook his head and said, "It's okay. This injury is nothing! ……”
- "Regeneration of severed limbs!" ”
- "Restoration!" ”
Sauron gritted his teeth and slashed off part of his palm, and then the radiance of divinity emerged, and the severed limb regeneration and recovery techniques healed his injuries.
What the hell is this?
Lasers?
Sauron wasn't sure what it was, because the light came out in an instant, and it seemed to resemble a laser, and it was extremely destructive on a physical level. However, it is not possible to determine whether the energy protection is effective.
"Are you alright?"
The situation here alarmed Golia, who was sorting out the books, and she hurried over and worried, "Is the injury serious?" ”
Sauron shook his head, raised his palm for them to look at, and then said, "Be careful! ”
"Don't go near the front."
"Looks like there's a big trap up there."
Is it really a laser?
Sauron wasn't sure yet, but thought it should be something similar.
If it's really a laser, then there must be a trigger device that can enter the sixth layer as long as it is destroyed. The Arcane Empire is probably not much lower than the Interstellar Age, and their exploration of the astral plane and the multiverse has been going on for a long time, and the appearance of such things is still within Sauron's tolerance.
He can still solve this thing by figuring out the situation!
"Why don't you get here today?"
Golia examines Sauron's injuries. Then he looked at the half-cut palm that was directly cut off on the ground, and said with a solemn expression: "I'm working on a ninth-level spell called [Tongyou Spirit Realm], maybe we can wait for my research to be completed, and go directly from here in a spirit state." ”
Sauron nodded.
It's a little dangerous, and it's nothing to cut off the palm of your hand, but if you cut off the head, you'll be dead.
It is impossible for such a trap to protect even the spirits, and it is undoubtedly safer to wait for Golia to come back after mastering the method.
But!
Sauron had to continue testing before leaving, so he quickly pulled out two pieces of metal. As soon as he raised his hand, he threw it towards the staircase in front of him.
One left and one right.
In an instant, a strange light appeared in front of him again, but at this moment there were two rays, and the speed was too fast to capture. Then I saw that the two pieces of metal had been cut into four pieces flatly.
"It looks like the flesh can't bear it."
A thought popped into Sauron's mind, and a small black stone appeared in his palm.
This is the Demon Stone.
The elemental annihilation material that appears in the area near the edge of the plane in the bottomless abyss may weigh several kilograms or more with a small fingernail.
Sauron carefully threw it out.
In a flash!
A strange light reappeared, followed by the sound of a click on the ground.
- "Hand of the Mage! ”
Sauron cast a spell and brought back the Demon Stone. It wasn't split in two, just left a shallow trail on the surface, as if the light wasn't enough to cut through it.
An object is a ray of light. Two objects are two rays.
Sauron seemed to figure out something.
It wasn't very difficult to get through it, and Sauron actually had another way, and that was to rush through it with a divine shield.
It's like a magic crystal pulse cannon.
Anyway, it is a highly condensed energy attack method, which can be understood as the lowest level of magic energy pulse attack, if you open the shield of divine power, you can still break through the strong rush, but the consumption of divine power may not be less.
In order to deal with the Spider God, the Divine Killer almost broke the Spider God's divine energy shield with a magic energy pulse cannon.
Although the Spider God Queen is extremely powerful, the consumption of divine power must be very amazing!
Sauron thought about it, but still felt that he would slow down for a while, the Sage Catastrophe was getting closer and closer, and the divine power was more valuable than the killing experience, so there was no need to consume it like this.
The group quickly exited the Wizard's Tower.
Goliath and the Fallen Witch need to digest today's gains, and Vivien needs to further merge the power of the Godhead.
The little girl's priesthood is still not settled at all.
Sauron didn't have a clue right now, wondering what kind of priesthood Vivien was suitable for and what kind of help he could provide.
[Fear] is impossible for the time being!
